Redeemer’s University Partners with University of Vienna to Boost Global Research and Grant Success

In a strategic move to elevate its academic standing on the global stage, Redeemer’s University (RUN), through its Career Services Centre (CASEC), recently hosted an intensive Staff Research Capacity Building Session.

The in-person training, titled “Keys to a Successful Career Pathway: Learning What Matters in Grant Application, Finding Research Collaborators and Winning Big,” was designed to provide RUN academics with the competitive edge needed for international research excellence.

International Expertise in Focus

The session was anchored by Prof. Dr. Peter Lieberzeit of the University of Vienna, Austria. Leveraging his extensive experience in European academia, Prof. Lieberzeit provided participants with a roadmap for navigating the complexities of global research funding and publication.

Key focus areas of the training included:

Strategic Collaboration: Practical steps for identifying and securing research partners and fellowship hosts across Europe.

Grant Mastery: Techniques for developing winning research proposals that align with international funding requirements.

Editorial Standards: Insider perspectives on the benchmarks journal editors use when selecting papers for high-impact publications.

Austrian Opportunities: Specific guidance on accessing UniNet (University Network Austria) research grants and other Austrian fellowship opportunities.

A Commitment to Research Excellence

The interactive session allowed faculty members to engage in high-level discussions, addressing specific challenges in the grant-writing process.

By investing in these high-level partnerships, Redeemer’s University reaffirms its commitment to building a world-class faculty capable of contributing to global discourse and securing significant external funding. This initiative marks another milestone in the University's mission to foster a culture of innovation and impactful scholarship.
